It looks like none of us have seen this error before.

There are a few things you should try:
- can you write to Windows disk from linux when logged in as root?
- does the user you're connecting as have permission to write to the
windows share? From windows explorer, right-click on the folder being
shared, go to properties->sharing->permissions.
- does the user you're connecting as have permission to write to the
windows filesystem? From windows explorer, right-click on the folder
being shared, go to properties->security.
